England have brought in Liam Plunkett in place of the rested Mark Wood for the second Royal London Series match against Australia at Lord's.

The like-for-like switch of seamers was England's only change as they seek to level up the series score at 1-1.

England captain Eoin Morgan unsurprisingly chose to bowl first under cloud cover, in a match delayed by an hour and shortened by one over per side to 49 each after morning drizzle.

Australia were unchanged after their opening win in Southampton.

One man looking to impress is England No 3 James Taylor.

'I am desperate to get back in the Test team, and cement my spot in the ODI team,' said the 25-year-old.

'The UAE would be a great opportunity, if given that chance, because I love playing spin as well - and there will be a lot bowled out there.'

Taylor has established fine credentials with Leicestershire and, for the past four seasons, Nottinghamshire - averaging more than 52 in List A cricket and almost 47 in first-class matches.

He said: 'Runs are runs, regardless of format.

'I will always try and score runs and stake a claim.

'As long as you are doing the right things and winning games for the side you are playing in, that's crucial - and makes a statement to the selectors.'

His record with England could easily have earned him more caps by now.

'I have shown glimpses of what I can do in the past couple of years in international cricket, and it's up to me to stamp my authority on the number three spot,' he added.

'Joe may be resting. But I want to be in this squad for as long as possible, and make it as hard as possible to be left out.

'It's up to me to do that.'

Taylor was surprisingly omitted from the squad which went on to beat New Zealand in June, despite having captained his country for the first time in a rain-wrecked ODI against Ireland in Dublin just a month earlier.

He admits he was 'bitterly disappointed', but was not about to dwell on it - and returned to lead Nottinghamshire's limited-overs teams to significant effect.

He enjoys the responsibility, and added: 'I have captained from a young age, in the Lions.

'As I look back, I can say I have captained England - even if it was by default.
